And so this week "On The Floor" achieves Jennifer Lopez's longest run at number 1. "If You Had My Love" and "Play" stayed at the top for 3 weeks; "Love Don't Cost A Thing" and "Ain't It Funny" - for 5. This is the 6th week "On The Floor" spends at number 1... Would Jenny have guessed in 1999 that she'd score her biggest European hit 12 years later?!...

With "Party Rock Anthem" LMFAO score their second number 2 hit after last year's "Gettin' Over You"...

And just how many acts have two songs simultaneously in the chart? Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, Black Eyed Peas, Lady GaGa, Bruno Mars... This must be a record (and for a second consecutive week - last week it was Jessie J instead of Bruno Mars)!

So after 9 weeks "E.T." by Katy Perry and Kanye West returns to the top! This is the second longest period it has taken a song to return to number 1 - the record was set in 2009, when "I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas returned to the top after 11 weeks...

Another remarkable thing is the chart run of "E.T." so far:

 

10-1-5-2-5-6-6-18-5-3-1

 

It's incredible - a song goes to number 1, then falls as low as number 18... and still manages to climb to the top once again!

The other notable occurence in this edition of European Top 20 is that "Price Tag" by Jessie J re-enters the chart for the third time, i.e., this is its 4th separate run in the chart! It's only the second song to achieve this - the first was "Who's That Chick?" by David Guetta and Rihanna.

Chart runs that are very strange are expected since the compilation method is not standard as it used to be.

I don't understand MTV European Top 20 anymore. At one time (imo, at its peak in the early 90s) the chart made sense. The popular tracks quickly climbed to the higher reaches of the chart. Other popular hits but in less amount of countries would appear and be battling for a top 20 position.

 

Now it's like they put twenty tracks into a hat - pull them out at random and decide the chart that way. At least the Hitstastic International Top 30 has some genuine continuity within it.

Jamse, I don't think strange chart runs and a mysterious way of making the chart are directly related. It has never been exactly clear how the chart was done and during the 2000's there were so many huge hits in Europe that didn't even chart in European Top 20 - so I don't think the method then was standard at all... And yet, there was a period when there was almost nothing unexpected in the chart. The year 2003 is the best example - when a song entered European Top 20, you knew it was guaranteed to spend at least 7 weeks in the chart and reach a peak position of at least number 13...

Actually they are closely related. Consider for example the impact that the one chart that was copied directly from the Billboard recently (110423) had on the chart runs of the hits already on the European Top 20 that MTV Europe makes. It caused for instance Cee Lo Green´s song to re-enter the chart at No. 3 and then to leave the chart immediately the following week which is strange. Its strange re-entry was made possible only because it happened to be No. 3 on a completely different chart. The chart on MTV Europe has had at least four different compilation methods since the cancellation of the original ET20. This is why the chart runs have become more awkward or as I like to express it; the chart lacks flow.

 

The original ET20 was indeed governed by a mysterious compilation method and although it has varied slightly and gradually over the years there was still a red-line throughout all the charts for all the 18 years (1991-2009). No individual chart can be singled-out.

 

I agree with you - to an extent. I think there have been strange editions of the chart before 2009 - but probably not as strange as the "Billboard" one... And I like your idea about the "flow" of the chart.

However, in my opinion, apart from the "Billboard" edition and the disastrous one with "Mignon Mignon" and the X Factor Finalists, this year the "flow" of the chart has been quite good.. Moreover, after the "Billboard" edition, the chart-maker did their best to show some kind of a "flow" - for me that's the only reason why "Moment 4 Life" by Nicky Minaj spent so many weeks in the chart; the chart-maker obviously didn't want all the strange debuts from the "Billboard" edition to disappear immediately in the following one...

Regarding the chart run of "E.T." - for me the strangest part of it by far was the 6-18-5 part... and during those weeks there was nothing else too strange about the "flow" of the chart... Not to mention that such things have also happened during the "good old times" - the example I thought of immediately was the chart run of "Got The Feelin'" by 5ive:

 

8-17-7-7

 

As a matter of fact, European Top 20 was quite peculiar during the whole 1998 in general! But that was the great thing about it and I'm sad that I wasn't watching the chart yet at the time...
